SCADA retrofit during ongoing production
A leading manufacturer in the packaging sector needed to modernize an outdated visualization and control system without long-term production interruptions. Zippe Automation migrated the existing SCADA solution to a modern platform, integrated the existing PLC systems, and created the basis for expanded data exchange as well as connection to higher-level systems and digital enterprise processes.
Results:
Increased cybersecurity
Future-proof platform
Improved usability
Reduced downtime risks
Modernization of a glass plant
An existing flat glass plant was to be modernized in terms of availability, spare parts availability, and operational safety. The existing control system was replaced with a modern automation solution, while existing plant components continued to be used.
Results:
Extended plant lifecycle
Higher operational safety
Improved diagnostic capabilities
Lower investment costs than a new purchase
